DigitalCameraInfo reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro Digital Camera here. The SLR unit has the following features:
* Store images on xD or Microdrive media
* Powered by 4 AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries; connects to PCs via USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 (Firewire)
* 12-megapixel sensor captures enough detail to create photo-quality 19-by-28-inch enlargements
* Fully compatible with Nikon’s Nikkor F-series lenses
* 2-inch LCD display with separate LCD data display; PictBridge support; dual shutter release buttons
Being compatible with Nikon lenses and using standard AA sized batteries is a great plus in terms of interoperability and openness. What’s the verdict from the folks at DigitalCameraInfo?

For users who don’t have a cost/benefit analysis to run, the question is much more subtle. The FinePix S3 yields much, much better dynamic range than the Nikon D70 or Canon 20D, and better color. It’s not better in any other respect, and it’s inferior in many other regards, so the decision will inevitably come down to personal preference and shooting priorities.
